Onboarding Step 2: Connect GitHub

Reached if you picked GitHub repository in step 1.

Flow

1. Install the Layers GitHub App (only if you haven't already) — a popup opens to GitHub to grant the app access. You can install it on your personal account or on any GitHub Org where you're an admin.
2. Pick repo — list of repos the installation has access to. The wizard lets you switch between installations if you have more than one.
3. Pick branch — defaults to the repo's default branch.

After continue

Clicking Continue sends you to Confirm details, where the analysis actually runs. No analysis happens on this screen.

What gets analyzed

Layers pulls the chosen branch and runs a server-side analysis pipeline that extracts brand/app context. Analysis content is ingested through Layers' onboarding service; the exact file set is implementation-specific and may change. Source files are not retained beyond the duration of analysis unless you enable App Machina.

Reconnecting or changing repos

After onboarding, manage the GitHub connection from Project settings → GitHub.
